There is nothing to enlighten you about. Can't force on you what you don't want for yourself. But look, I don't think you've seen Hannibal. If you have, you only saw the opening episodes of the first season. And that, isn't enough to pronounce a show uninteresting.
I have watched the first 8 episodes of the show of the total 12,and I believe that's enough time for any serious show to peak.
Nothing is interesting in watching peeps who eat human parts or psychopaths who kill their victims by mounting them on a multifaceted spike or a profiler that assumes the role of criminals to understand their intentions(its a popular plotline).That aspect of psychology they are trying to explore is not insightful to me.
Hope you get my view!

Pardon my French y'all, but with all due respect, fvck NBC. Every bloody time, they are on the termination mode. What's the point of starting what you can't finish, huh? Such a lousy culture, methinks. angry

I sure hope that Netflix will come to the rescue by picking up "Hannibal" for the 4th season, like they did with "The Killing" a while ago. Hannibal is too good for be accorded an unwanted title of "a cancelled TV show".

If "Penny Dreadful" and all the TV series currently airing on The CW should get scrapped tomorrow by their respective networks, now, that would be an understandable situation, cuz, to be frank, they suck truly, but for Hannibal to be given the same treatment? Uh-huh, unacceptable.

Koice, I'm guessing you don't watch sci-fi because you'd be cursing the hell out of FOX first before any other network. The quality shows that FOX have killed would make you cry, especially since they like to sabotage the shows themselves by airing them out of order, releasing the wrong trailers or just plain ignoring the show completely.

Try listening to the commentary of the pilot episode of Firefly to understand the crazy that is FOX.

I try not to watch FOX shows at all. Their own case is beyond redemption.

The network done try abeg they supported hannibal for 3 season despite the abysmal rating its getting and the show doesn't look cheap.

Very funny though.
Was watching THE HOBBIT:AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, and it just struck me that the same person that acted BILBO BAGGINS also acted the LESTER NYGARD character in FARGO..
And to think it never really crossed my mind when I watched DESOLATION OF SMAUG and BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES!!

I found Daredevil to be unbelievable and haven't gone past the fourth episode. I'm very much into super heroes and stuff but a blind man who mysteriously develops a super sense of hearing that allows him to do things that men with their sights can't do was too much for me to swallow.

Check out his fight scenes; he parries, ducks and dodges without seeing where his attackers are coming from yet he knows just where to land his death dealing blows (well in fairness he never kills anyone) During the day time he puts on the act of a blind man who can't get about without his cane but at night when he's on his super hero flows he is jumping from windows, jumping from balconies all with the help of his sense of hearing & smell. Haba. Does he smell/hear the balconies to know where they are cheesy
.
I wouldn't rate DD so lowly if the acting and dialogues were able to get my mind off the points I mentioned above but I found it to be cliched and somewhat predictable.

It was this same thing that made me lose some interest in Marco Polo.

Maybe it's just me but most of the Netflix shows I've seen this year are sort of disappointing.

Just that the meeting between smaug and bilbo was very funny because they also play sherlock and watson on the show.

Packaged, sealed and delivered to Netflix by the duo of Marvel Comics and ABC, "Marvel's Daredevil" as it's officially known, is currently the best on-creen adaptation of a graphic novel, since "The Walking Dead" series. Take it or leave it.

The proverbial one eyed man rulling over the kingdom of the blind.
it can be the best in a genre filled with other piss poor adaptations.
like I stated previously, live action adaptations are poor.
